Progress

Hey guys and girls

I'm unable to blog my workouts, I mentioned before I signed a confidentiality agreement with Team Bombshell which is fair enough.  Kinda leaves me stumped what to say sometimes....

So, progress in my eyes since I began training with them.  Firstly, I haven't been following the diet plan.  If I had I know for a fact I'd be lean as but right now I've not had the motivation to do so.  Its hard.  The training on the other hand, I LOVE!

I'm into my 3rd 4 week cycle and I can see a definite improvement since I started training with them.  My legs have grown and I look more balanced than I ever have.  Naturally my upper body is far more responsive than my lower.  I train my legs 3 times a week and in particular I have seen a dramatic improvement in my hamstrings.  I was very quad dominant before.  My booty is higher than I ever have seen it, this little girl has some serious junk in her trunk!! 

Now I've seen the gains I was looking for in my trouble area I'm reintroducing cardio into my routine.  I'm forever beating on for girls to get off the cardio machines and into the weights room, but right now at this stage in my training I can afford to do more cardio.  I read this once and sums it up beautifully I think.... cardio will make you a smaller version of your current self.  It will not sculpt or shape your body in any dramatic fashion.  Muscle is really difficult to grow, naturally we can only gain something like 6lbs a year and that's with the right training, nutrition and hormone levels.  If you see those dudes at the gym who have gained more, trust me they are cheating - AND CHEATING DOESN'T COUNT!!

Eating lots and training hard has given me the gains in the areas I wished to sculpt my body hence why I am happy to be a smaller version of my current self.

Tonight I completed my back and biceps programme in record time and went on to do an hour of cardio.  I didn't follow the Bombshell cardio plan, instead I did:

• 15 minutes treadmill, 4.5km speed, 4% incline - 1 minute walking lunge, 1 minute side skip left, 1 minute side skip right and repeat
• 20 minutes stepper machine level 9
• 25 minutes treadmill - speed 5.5, incline 10.5km

I'm careful not to over train at the minute so I am mixing up my Bombshell HIIT sessions and stead state.  A happy, sweaty betty session.  Tomorrow its back to the dreaded arc and another legs day - OUCH!!

Love
